We performed a comparison between Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and Windows 11 based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Operating Systems (OS) for Business solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Errata is the most valuable feature, which is supported by Red Hat."
"RHEL's effect on our organization's management and efficiency is noticeable because we check all the compliance boxes when we run STIG machines."
"The Red Hat Linux comes with Anaconda, a fascinating tool that is useful if I need to connect multiple systems. I also like role-based access."
"Aside from security, the advantage of Red Hat as compared to the other distributions is the availability of support and patching. When you have an enterprise subscription with Red Hat, you get support and patching."
"The AppStream feature provides access to up-to-date languages and tools in a way that interoperates with third-party source code. It makes it a lot easier to maintain that, as well as keeps our developers happy by having newer versions of development languages available."
"It's been great since we have it. It's been reliable and fast."
"The knowledge base offered by Red Hat Enterprise Linux is good. It is easy to parse through all of the knowledge base."
"Red Hat is open source, so what we get with Red Hat Enterprise Linux is valuable support that is not included in the free version."
"The tool is very stable and I don't recall a time the screen went blue which was common for Windows 7. The product's installation is fast. If I have any issue that prevents me from booting Windows 11, it will automatically run into auto-repair mode and fix those issues. Windows 10 had this functionality but it wasn't good."
"The product's most valuable feature is its support service."
"Quick Assist is a valuable feature."
"We are migrating from Windows 10 to Windows 11 due to end-of-life, security concerns, and end-of-support. The tool's configuration is good and we are satisfied with it since it's a Microsoft product. We didn't face any hurdles in using the tool. We didn't feel much difference with both Windows products. The solution is good because in IT we want to secure our data. Nowadays, data is the most valuable thing. If your data is secured, then you are secured. I think that everyone has to move to Windows 11 since Windows 10 is facing end-of-life and end-of-sales, probably by 2024."
"Windows 11 has nice icons and colors."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is animation. It is a good solution in terms of performance."
"It has helped with analytics."
"As a developer, I would like to have access to this software so that I can install the tools that I need."
"I would like training to be added to the subscription. It would be useful for when you have to train yourself or get a certification. There are many things that we are not using because we don't know how to use them. Having training included in the subscription would help us in learning more things and utilizing the full power of the solution."
"It could be a bit more user-friendly. It could also be cheaper."
"In the past and with older versions, you couldn't expand the root file system without rebooting the server or restarting the operating system. That is something that they have actually corrected now, which is great. They corrected that issue somewhere around RHEL 7."
"If we can update certain parts internally without having to remove them from the entire server, that would be fantastic since, else, there will be downtime, and we will need to reboot."
"When we initially began working with containers, we encountered some challenges with compatibility."
"Red Hat should provide a way to mirror repositories or at least provide a solution for us to bubble up packages throughout the entire process."
"The performance component is available on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, but we need to maintain the dashboard on-premises, which requires us to switch between systems instead of performing all tasks from a single location."
"The interface should be enhanced and more user-friendly."
"I have noticed a difference in audio option."
"The product’s performance needs improvement."
"I would like the solution to include AI integration. It also needs to have better support."
"A significant drawback is its cost for the hardware requirements that is important for optimal performance which makes it less accessible and potentially impractical for many users globally."
"When I was using Winsel, a tool for the existing purpose, and completing the purpose of that is to complete the file, it would show an error and ask me to purchase the product. But now, instead of giving the product, we have a patch to loop the tool. This happened via dot key dot shared and dot bat solutions. So, that kind of convenience has not been provided in Windows 11."
"The solution's installation process could be less time-consuming."
"Some minor features of Windows 10 are missing in Windows 11."
